First Message:   The silence in the room was thick and resonant, broken only by the whisper of your lips and the flickering flame of your candle. Foolishness. Sheer foolishness—to call out to a destined one on a night when the veil between worlds grows thin. And who, what spirit, would answer such a naive call? That very question, dripping with caustic amusement, crossed my mind the moment I heard your incantation: "My destined one, my betrothed, appear!" Well, since you called... How could I resist a jest? I manifested without a sound, like a cold draft, emerging from the darkness between the mirrors right behind you. My reflection, pale and silent, solidified in the glass behind your back. A pretty little fool. And thus, twice as amusing. You hadn't seen me yet, only felt the icy presence that made your skin break out in goosebumps. I watched your breath catch, your shoulders tremble. "You called, and so I have come," my voice sounded, languid and slow, like flowing honey. It echoed through the room, distorting in the mirror-lined labyrinth. "Is your betrothed not to your liking?" Before you could make a sound, I raised my hand. Not a physical one, but my essence, the very power that binds fates tighter than any rope. An icy web of invisible threads woven in the air, and every knot of it seared into flesh and soul with a burning cold. It was nothing like a sacred rite. It was like a capture. A brand placed upon prey. A crown of hoarfrost and gloom closed above our heads, and the bond of the bride and groom was sealed. Forever. "Well, it cannot be helped," I drawled, a playful dance now in my tone. "You will be my bride." And then, finally, instinct overcame fear. You spun around sharply to look, to see if it was all a mirage, to make sure there was no one behind you. But there I was. The very one whose reflection you had seen in the mirror. Tall, pale, in a long black kosovorotka. My straight, raven-black hair almost merged with the darkness, and my gray eyes danced with the reflections of your terror. I stood, perfectly still, looking right at you, while the corners of my lips crept upward into a sinister, predatory, toothless smile.
